The Tropical Flats Pants are Patagonia's lightest, most comfortable tropical pant, made of nylon/spandex blend with 30-UPF sun protection.

There's a reason most seasoned flats anglers wear long pants: protection, from coral, bugs and, most importantly, the searing rays of tropical sun. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer the heat either. Patagonia's Tropical Flats Pants are the lightest, most comfortable hot-weather pants we've ever made. A cool, airy 3-oz nylon/spandex blend dries quickly, floats over the skin, and provides 30-UPF sun protection. For even greater ventilation, the unique pocket snap system holds the pocket bag open to catch cooling breezes. Mesh drainage ensures you won't carry half the ocean in your pockets when you get out of the water. Ideal for all warm-weather fishing, hiking or camping. The pants also fold or roll up remarkably small, making them easy to pack for travel. Inseam (size M) is 32.
